Which are the three standing committees of NSREC?

• A. Discipline Committee, Licensing Committee, and Complaint Review Committee
• B. Audit Committee, Ethics Committee, and Public Relations Committee
• C. Education Committee, Advertising Committee, and Standards Committee
• D. Compliance Committee, Licensing Appeals Committee, and Policy Committee

Answer: (A)

NSREC organizes its regulatory work through permanent committees that focus on the core processes affecting licensees: discipline, licensing, and handling complaints. The three standing committees are the Discipline Committee, Licensing Committee, and Complaint Review Committee. The Discipline Committee reviews alleged professional misconduct and applies sanctions when warranted, maintaining ethical standards in the profession. The Licensing Committee oversees licensing activities, including initial qualifications, registrations, renewals, and ongoing requirements like continuing education, to ensure licensees remain competent. The Complaint Review Committee evaluates complaints, determines appropriate actions, and can refer matters to the Discipline Committee if necessary, providing due process within the regulatory system. Other groupings you see listed aren’t the NSREC standing committees, and they don’t represent the permanent bodies responsible for these primary regulatory functions.
